Business Outlook

Pros

Decent salary and made some strong connections with some good people.

Cons

• Terrible Upper Management and Sales Leadership • Insanely behind on sales reporting (at times by 4 or more months) leading to sales representatives not having any idea what is going on within their own territor • Expected to not open your mouth and have an opinion or you will be shunned and forced out of the company over time • Very high turnover due to being constantly disrespected, overworked, treated like children and all autonomy continuously being taken away from the position • Leadership is actively trying to force more tenured and older employees out of the company to bring in new people who don't know how bad things really are and how terrible the leadership truly is • You will leave this company as a different person than when you joined and in all the wrong ways due to all I just mentioned above
